To participate in the upcoming Sandy Neck deer hunt, you’ve got to attend one of two mandatory meetings: Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. for archery hunters or Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. for primitive firearms hunters. Each will be held beginning at 7 p.m. at the West Barnstable Community Building on Route 149. You can participate in one hunt only.

The archery hunt will be held from Nov. 21 to 26 or until six deer have been taken, whichever comes first. The primitive firearms hunt runs from Dec. 12 to 17, again until that deadline or when six deer have been taken.
